Black 64Gb received too :)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

I just received shipping notification of my N950 :-)

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

Mine is in Belgrade, now I need to sign some papers because Serbia is not in Europe Union.
Shouldn't take more than 3 days to received (at least that was said to me on phone).

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

N950 shipping notification received here, too.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

Now that I'm getting my N950, my first task is going to be to try to get Bluetooth PAN tethering working to my iPod Touch and Nexus 7. For this, I may need to compile/recompile BlueZ.

I have no idea how the development process works on Harmattan. I know there is scratchbox for it. Qt Creator can be used as well. But how does packaging work and what is the equivalent of

Code:

apt-get source <packageX>

Are there repositories similar to extras-dev, testing, extras? Is there an autobuilder?

I see threads about Open Mode, Developer Mode, etc. Is there a wiki article that explains all this? Based on superficial research around the tmo site, it seems the Harmattan documentation is nowhere near the level of Fremantle.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

DHL MAIL received !! for N950!

The scratchbox SDK builds packages too as does QtCreator...

The .DEB packaging thread for the n9 is similar to the n900 one

There is a repo by Rzr for packages already available and some other packages...Harmattan SDK repo...

You can use the OBS in appsformeego too

Yes, the documentation for Harmattan is lesser sadly...

Developer Mode gives you access to dev tools and terminal (disabled by default)

Open Mode allows you to bypass Aegis (a "security" watchdog)

You may read more about it here

Lastly, welcome aboard! Its good to see more developers coming over :D

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

Great to see so many people receiving their DHL shipping notices and devices! And wow.. 64Gb versions of the N9 too.. I didn't expect that, I hope it's the same for everyone :)

I asked a similar question on the Meego.com forums once, anyways here's how you go about building BlueZ in the Harmattan SDK:

Quote:

To build it in the Harmattan SDK:

Code:

Code:

$ apt-get update

$ apt-get source bluez

$ cd bluez-4.91/

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakerootIf

"apt-get source" complains about missing build dependencies then install them with "fakeroot apt-get install <dependency1> ... <dependencyN>".

Thanks to forum user 'Im' for the steps. I never built it myself as I didn't have a Linux development machine at hand and just learned to use the Qt rfcomm API instead (I only need the serial port profile). I did raise a bug report for the missing the BlueZ bluetooth profiles though but it was shot down as a "won't fix".

Re: 2012 Coding Competition

Also received dhl mail notification, status is still in Finland :)
